What if we can stop cancer before it even starts?

This is the goal of cancer interception, a field of medical science focused on stopping abnormal cells at the absolute earliest stage. While our immune systems naturally destroy pre-malignant cells every day, cancer develops when those cells find a way to hide.

To fix this blind spot, researchers at Penn Medicine - Abramson Cancer Center are developing advanced vaccines that act as an upgrade for our natural defenses. These vaccines strip away the cells' biological tricks so your immune system can find and eliminate them before they turn into tumors.

Each week, Penn Medicine Princeton Health experts lead Bright Beginnings, a space for parents with babies to gather, learn, and find support. This is just one of many family, perinatal, and mental health resources available to our community. Our team recently compiled a comprehensive guide that brings together support groups, community programs, and crisis lines. We're excited to make this information readily available on our website. Check out the resources below!

Penn Medicine Princeton Health employees recently got a dose of pure happiness thanks to therapy dogs who stopped by for some big-time puppy love. These furry visitors often brighten days for patients and staff alike.

A few minutes of wagging tails and goofy grins can melt stress, lift moods, and help our teams recharge. When our people feel more relaxed and supported, they can show up even stronger for the patients who count on them.

Pet therapy brings joy to everyone it touches, and that joy carries right into the care we provide.

This year, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Princeton Health Annual Golf Outing, a milestone that reflects three decades of our community's commitment to advancing healthcare. Thanks to the incredible support of our sponsors, golfers, donors, and volunteers, more than $581,000 was raised for our Cancer Center Expansion Campaign. Every dollar brings us closer to greater access to oncology care.

This year's outing was also a meaningful opportunity to honor the life and legacy of Bruce Traub, former co-chair of the Golf Outing Committee and former CFO for Princeton Health. Bruce's vision helped shape this event into the impactful tradition it is today and continues to inspire us.

To everyone who has supported this event over the past 30 years: thank you for helping transform a day on the course into a lasting investment in the health of our community.

For patients living with dizziness, every step can feel uncertain. Simple movements like walking through the grocery store, turning your head, or getting out of bed can become daily challenges. That's where Paula Hoffman, certified vestibular therapist, makes a difference.

With more than a decade of experience treating vestibular disorders, concussions, and Parkinson's disease, Paula helps patients restore balance, confidence, and the freedom to move through life again.

"Paula transforms invisible symptoms like dizziness into measurable progress," said Princeton Health Rehabilitation Services Manager Anupama Anand.

For Paula, it's about more than rehabilitation. "My goal is to improve patients' lifestyles and help them move safely toward what matters most," she shared.

Recently, Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health senior outreach coordinators, Ken Burkert and Thomas Nunn, met with Rob Lutz from Livengrin Foundation's First Responders Addiction Treatment (FRAT) Program to discuss how we can continue strengthening the network of care for first responders.

Princeton House Behavioral Health is proud to provide the region's first behavioral health program for first responders, including the area's only dedicated inpatient psychiatric program designed specifically for those professionals who serve our communities. We also know that no one organization can meet every need. That's why collaboration matters. By working with programs like Livengrin's FRAT Program, we can help create smoother transitions between levels of care, improve access to specialized treatment, and ensure first responders receive the right support at the right time.

Thank you to Rob and the Livengrin team for a great conversation. We look forward to continuing this partnership in support of those who serve our communities every day.

Opera singer Ben Bongers performed around the world for 35 years before a dentist visit changed everything. A molar that was irritating his tongue led him to an oral surgeon who recognized cancer. By the next day he was at Penn Medicine meeting specialists in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, who moved quickly to save his life.

Surgeon Steven Cannady, MD, removed more than half of Ben's tongue and rebuilt it with tissue from his wrist. He was told he might never sing again, and that patients with his diagnosis often live only five years. Still, he trusted his care team, who supported him medically and emotionally through surgery, radiation, chemo, and a clinical trial that eased his side effects.

He finished treatment the day before Thanksgiving 2019. At midnight mass that weekend, his wife Lisa began to cry. When he asked why, she said, “You’re singing.” He was quietly singing Joy to the World.

Just 158 days after losing most of his tongue, Ben sang Ave Maria for an audience of 250 million as part of the Order of Malta. Today, six years into survivorship, he is still singing and grateful for every day.

Sometimes, advocacy starts with noticing the little things. When Penn Medicine Princeton Health physical therapist Barbara Kutch saw subtle changes in a shared patient, she trusted her instincts and brought the care team together. That one conversation helped ensure the patient received a timely admission and coordinated treatment.

Whether she's collaborating with therapists, physicians, nurses, or caregivers, Barbara leads with compassion and an unwavering commitment to her patients. It's this dedication that earned her a 2025 PMX Advocacy Award.

“Advocacy means speaking up and working together, so patients receive the care they need,” Barbara shared.

Congratulations, Barbara, and thank you for making every patient feel supported.

For more than 50 years, if something needed to get where it belonged, chances are Hubert Guthrie helped make it happen.

While much of his work took place behind the scenes as a mailroom clerk, Hubert has been one of the steady, familiar faces who kept our organization connected every single day. Through decades of growth and change, his dedication, professionalism, and a quiet commitment never wavered.

The relationships he built, the lives he touched, and the example he set are part of the legacy he leaves behind. His 50 years of service are defined by loyalty, hard work, and heart.

Hubert, thank you for everything you've given to our organization. We wish you endless happiness, good health, and all the best in this well-earned retirement.

Please join us in congratulating Hubert and celebrating his incredible career in the comments below!

Healing doesn't only happen in therapy sessions, it can happen through creativity, too. Earlier this year, the outpatient team at Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health's Moorestown site came together to create Be the Change, a collaborative art piece featured in Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center's Art for Healing exhibit. Inspired by the idea of "supporting the world," the 3D artwork reflects both the team's individual strengths and their shared commitment to helping patients heal.

For the team, creating the piece was an act of connection and self-care. And it's a reminder that the same creative tools they encourage patients to use are ones they practice themselves because healing is something we all work toward, together
